I have been given access to a technology tool that might help various teachers that are incorporating blended learning into their classrooms. The tech tool is the Echo Livescribe pen, In order to create a pencast, you will need the Echo Livescribe pen, Livescribe Dot Paper Notebook, and Echo Desktop (installed on computer). By using the pen with the dot paper notebook, you can create a pencast (like a screencast) for others to watch. I have included an example below. On a computer, you will need to download the livescribe file and play it with the Livescribe Player. There is and app to play it using Livescribe + (iOS only). There are a few "mistakes" in my pencast (touching lines on dot paper), but I hope by watching it you will get the idea of how this tool can be used. A math teacher at our high school uses it to show solutions for their math assignments. This is a simple tool for teachers to use that can help students with the learning process.
